Senior Mixed Signal Circuit Design Engineer

Job Title

Senior Mixed Signal Circuit Design Engineer

Role Summary

Design and deliver high-speed analog/mixed-signal SerDes and related circuits in advanced FinFET and deep-submicron CMOS nodes. The role owns transistor-level architecture through layout, verification, and silicon bring-up while collaborating closely with layout, verification, and system teams.

Experience Level

Senior — requires significant industry experience; the posting specifies a minimum of 5+ years of professional analog build experience.

Responsibilities

Primary responsibilities include end-to-end analog/mixed-signal design and silicon validation:

• Architect and implement high-speed SerDes (targeting ~80 Gbps and above) and associated analog building blocks.
• Perform transistor-level schematic design, simulations, and optimization for noise, power, and loop stability.
• Lead layout coordination: floorplanning, high-speed routing guidance, and design-for-signal-integrity practices.
• Drive verification activities, including Monte Carlo and corner simulations, to ensure robust silicon performance.
• Lead post-silicon bring-up, debug failures, and iterate builds based on silicon characterization data.
• Collaborate across teams (layout, verification, digital, system) and communicate technical trade-offs clearly.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience.

• Minimum 5+ years of professional analog/mixed-signal build experience, with hands-on work in FinFET and deep-submicron CMOS processes.
• Proven experience with high-speed data and/or clock path design, including SerDes implementations.
• Proficiency in Cadence Virtuoso and strong simulation skills (Spectre, HSpice, FineSim, XA, or equivalent).
• Expertise in noise analysis, Monte Carlo methods, and complex loop stability analysis.
• Experience with analog and digital modeling, timing, and system-level verification integration.
• Demonstrated ability to lead post-silicon bring-up and debugging activities.
• Strong collaborative and communication skills; able to work cross-functionally to resolve system-level issues.

Education Requirements

MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical industry experience.
